Google Plus lets you zoom into and pan images on the desktop

While Facebook has been quite busy over the holiday season releasing their Poke and Pages Manager app, adding voice messaging to the messenger app and rebuilding their Facebook Android app with native code like its iOS counterpart, Google plus is introducing some new features too. Google Plus launched the Communities feature for people with common interests to meet up and discuss about topics like photography, astronomy, Android etc. They have now added a cool zoom and pan feature to their image gallery.

As opposed to Facebook, Google Plus see’s a lot of photographs shared on a daily basis. Professional photographers showcase their works and sometimes also offer their images for free download. To make image viewing more intuitive in the image gallery, Google Plus has added a simple zoom and pan feature in the gallery. When viewing a photo in full screen mode, just scroll your mouse wheel up or down to zoom into or zoom out of the image. This will bring up a small window in the top left corner of the image where you can drag the slider to the left or right for more precision. You can also the drag the image around to pan to a certain section of the image. The zoom feature only seems to work on high resolution images as of now.

Facebook Pages Manager launched for Android

While page admins of Facebook on iOS had an app to manage pages from their mobile devices long back, users on Android are just getting a taste of it now. Facebook is slowly starting to roll out the Facebook Pages Manager app for Android to users. It is not yet available globally, downloads are restricted to Canada, Australia and New Zealand so far. It will be made available to more countries over the following weeks.

The app will allow page admins to post status updates and photos across all the pages that they manage, get instantaneous notifications of interactions on any post, check private messages and respond to them and get insights about your posts as well. The Android app is still missing a few features from its iOS counterpart like options to add and promote offers but they will probably be incorporated over time. Facebook has been launching a bevy of apps and features recently including the Facebook Poke app and the Voice Messaging update to Facebook Messenger.

Are you a Facebook Page admin? What feature are you looking forward to in this app? Let us know your thoughts here.
